Glenda Bailey commented on Mo Godbeer's group Encaustic Art"Diana, yes, joint compound absolutely works. And is readily available. No hefty shipping charges and way cheaper.

Glenda Bailey commented on Mo Godbeer's group Encaustic Art"I liked the wood icing too, but when i saw it used a while back, i started to purchase some. The icing was reasonably priced, but if i remember correctly the shipping was very high. So, i used joint compound and it worked beautifully.
Also, you can…"
Glenda Bailey commented on Mo Godbeer's group Encaustic Art"Yes, i have one of those tools too. But i burned silk with a soldering iron. And the edges with a candle flame. You can lay the silk on glass to use the tip of the iron."

Glenda Bailey commented on Mo Godbeer's group Encaustic Art"Mo, i got some bitumen tar stuff from a car company here. The woman that gary recommended never had any. Guess she got bombarded or something. But i haven't used it yet. Now that you say that, i will read the label carefully before starting in…"

I liked the interview, thought those pieces looked kinda like double fortune cookies."
Glenda Bailey commented on Mo Godbeer's group Encaustic Art"Got patricia seg's new book today from amazon. Not sure how i feel about it. Will be anxious to see what some of you think. I expected more. Nothing really new and exciting. The tar part was just mixing tar with linseed oil and smearing it on.…"

Glenda Bailey replied to Mo Godbeer's discussion Add Your Work Here in the group Encaustic Art"Wow, love all the new work. Everything got really quiet but now so much and so much eye candy. I have only used shellac a few times but do love the effect. Beautiful work posted. Gonna try the muliple layers when i can. It is already 100 degrees in…"
Glenda Bailey commented on Mo Godbeer's group Encaustic Art"Gosh, i saw this woman 15 years ago at HIA. And I bought some of the studio paper. Personal opinion, but she is really stretching the encaustic word. It is a heavy wax paper. It would be like calling crayon rubbings encaustic. But then maybe i am…"

Dragonfly encaustic
"Thanks.
Neither actually. It was stamped on white acid free tissue and embedded in the wax. Easy peasy."

Thanks for introducing me to this site. It looks like it has lots of opportunities for learning. I'll have to spend some time figuring everything out.

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
